The winning charm of Patricia Al-Fakhri's watercolours combine with
Julia Johnson's narrative to make The Pearl Diver an outstanding
book for children aged 8-12. Saeed is going to learn how to dive -
his father has promised to teach him. It is the start of the
pearling season and this is his first trip out on to the waters of
the Arabian Gulf. Leaving the rest of his family behind on the
shore, Saeed and his father join the crew of a pearling dhow and
set out to spend the hot summer months on the high seas. He learns
how the pearl divers hunt for the treasures of the seabed, and
discovers the secrets and dangers story, carefully researched from
oral and written sources - some dating from more than a
hundred-and-fifty years ago - offers an insight into the way of
life that sustained the Arabian Gulf right up until the discovery
of oil.
